here's another example.

- cropped tight

- used the selection magic wand in photoshop to cut out character

- placed in new layer with transparent background

- saved as gif.

Can you provide more detailed instructions? How do I place on a new layer with transparent background? What format are you saving it in?

-use the magic wand and select in your white area (i used cyan for background so I could keep the froth on the beer - it blended in with the white)

-now that you have that selection, hit ctrl-shift-i to inverse the selection, then ctrl-c to copy your character.

-create a new layer in the layers pallet (make sure the pallet is visible)

-you create a new layer just by hitting the button in the pallet that looks like a piece of paper

-make sure that layer is selected, and ctrl-p to paste

-deselect the eye - icon on your original layer (that has the solid background)

-then go to 'save for web' in file menu and make sure you save it as a gif with transparency.
